“Telephone Interception Law” – A Further Threat to Communications Privacy
1/11/2012 Marvin Palacios, Tegucigalpa. Wire-tapping, which police and military intelligence agencies have been carrying out for years to intercept the communications of civil society organisations and the political opposition, was legalised by the Honduran Congress in December 2011. However, according to officials working for Porfirio Lobo’s regime, the law was passed as a way of combating common criminality, organised crime and drug-trafficking.
